Description

Some Autobots are built to lead, and others are built to follow. Despite the fact that he is the commander of Autobot City, the newly-constructed Autobot outpost on Earth, Ultra Magnus prefers carrying out orders to giving them. Even though he is a reluctant leader, he still does his job with all the efficiency and compassion that the Autobots expect from a commanding officer.

In his alternate mode, Ultra Magnus is a carrier truck, able to haul supplies and other Autobots to and from the battlefield with great speed and efficiency. The front of his vehicle mode is a white semi truck, nearly identical to Optimus Prime, a fact that has led some to speculate that the two are somehow related.
